I recently did an appeal for UCSC because I loved the campus and how it’s in a forest, and got in. My only dilemma is that they only offer a B.A. in environmental studies while I am looking for a B.S. because I love science. I do not know what school to choose because UCSB offers a B.S in environmental studies but I love the campus of UCSC and it has always been my dream school.
Even though UCSC’s Env Studies major is a BA, you can do the ENVS program with a Biology emphasis which would give you the science courses you love.
ENVS Combined with Biology
This course of study provides students with the basic tools of biological science and sufficient understanding of resource conservation, conservation biology, and concerns about environmental sustainability. The Environmental Studies/Biology degree program prepares students for graduate school or a career in the areas of conservation biology, restoration ecology, and other allied interdisciplinary life science fields. Students wishing to enter into specific graduate programs or seeking specific career certifications such as wildlife biologist need to check the requirements of each program and may need to add elements to their curriculum. See a faculty adviser for help.
